Let kids read

To The Eagle:

The election of school board members is very important to our kids’ education and safety. Board members should be reasonable, educated, and knowledgeable about schools. We don’t need people who think everyone should have to subscribe to their radical beliefs. Kandice Merz has stated in a public meeting that she has requested a complete list of all books in our school libraries. This leads me to believe her intention is to ban books she does not agree with. Apparently she has never read any books that would tell her how that worked out for the dictators of the past. We are better than that and our kids deserve better. Let kids read, let kids learn, and let parents censor their own children. Vote for the qualified candidates, Brian Heston and Patty Anderson.
